If you really wanted to get ambitious you could hand write the type and then scan it in?

Helvetica

After watching clips of this documentary on youtube I am taken aback. I never realized how much type can mean (and not just to convey a message). The type itself says something that we don't always realize at first glance. It can speek to you. I honestly didn't think I would be able to stand watching a documentary about type. I thought it would be boring and pointless. But after watching clips of Helvetica I look at type differently (as crazy as it sounds). I enjoyed the clips and i became a witness to the mystique of the type face know as HELVETICA.
